Busi,fOwn News.

Buslitown, Fenwick and the regions
round about were well represented in
Woodstown on Monday morning at the
Mayors office, where Esquire Goforth was
engaged in giving a hearing to two or
three prisoners who had been arrested on
complaint of Josephine Thomas, respec-
table colored woman of Bushtown, upon
charge of writing and circulating a scan
dalous letter, rejecting seriously upon her
character as a wife, The letter purported
to be written to married man in the
neighborhood aud was of grossly indie
cent character. Mrs. Thomas name had
been signed to it, and it had by accident
or design been dropped, according to the
evidence, in Mller's store at Fenwck, and
there picked up, and after being read
by those present was passed from hand to
hand through the neighborhood for two or
three weeks until some one Informed Mrs.
Thomas of the fact, and she traced the let
ter and got it into her possession. The
court room at the hearing was crowded
with motley asscmblage, with an over
flow meeting on the sidewalk. ]. w. Wi
BILE appeared for Mrs. Thomas, and while
proof was had of the circulation of the let
ter i'll question by number of different
persons, the writer thereof was not diseov-
cred, although suspicion pointed very
strongly in certain direction, and the
case was postponed until next Monday for
further hearing.

'All things come to him who waits, y
says the proverb and its the unexpected
that happens, says somebody-and week
before last our office received the uncx-
pectcd visitation which, nevertheless is
sure to come sooner or later t. all we'll
conducted of1ces-a pied form. The
paper had just been run off the press and
The forms were being raised to the com
posing room ON the second floor, on the
elevator used for the purpose, when some
thing gave way and-well there wasn't
two adjoining type that kept their relative
positions. Printers will understand what
that means. If any one else will visit
the MONITOR composing room and watch
the slow progress of building up page of
newspaper, type at a time, and notice the
many different characters and styles of
type that go to make up page and then
look at pied form, if we happen to have
one, lie will understand it too. Such cpl
sodes leave the printer in anything but a
pious frame OF mind. It's all right now,
however. You can give us a call.

..The TOURISTS

The following is what Paterson paper
has to say in regard to ''The Tourists in a
Pullman Palace Car who will perform
in the New Opera House, Woodstown,
next Monday, March 21st: For an attack
of the blues or any tendency to melancholy
we know OF nothing better than an evening
spent with ''rhe Tourists, at the Peoples
Theatre. Many convincing testimonials
of even more than average genuineness
could be published, but we forbear. The
large audiences are kept in commissions of
laughter from beginning to close. Many
new songs and specialties are introduced.
and the humor is all of a delicate, pleasing
and clearly character that can offend no
one, while it appeals irresistibly to the
better sense of the audience. 1t is among
the most thoroughly enjoyable perform
auces witnessed at the Peoples Theatre
this season, and full houses are assured
during the week. Paterson On ~

Tonight the City Council at Salem will
vote on applications for license to sell
liquor in the city limits. The recent city
election for Councilmen was entirely on
the license or no-license issue and the two
newly elected members who have been
sworn in and taken their seats are both
pronounced in opposition to license. Two
others who voted for license last spring,
gave public notice at the time that there
after they should exercise their own judg-
ment in the matter and vote as they un-
derstood the public sentiment to direct.
1t looks as though ''no-license" would pre-
vail, a contamination devotodly to be
wished

a first-class troupe. No better show of its
kind has been presented at the house since
it was first opened to the public. The

any kind, and act follows act in rapid sue
cession, comprising some of the most novel
and startling feats ever witnessed. In the
street parade the music rendered by the
band is first class.

Next Friday will witness the fitting
from place to place ofinnumerable families
in South Jersey. 1t is the ''25th." Not
necessary to say of what-everybody I'M
derstandS what is meant when the ''21th
is spoken of. 1t is the annual festival of
the money-changers and of landlords and
tenants; the occasion for the sundering OF
old neiehborhood ties--a transportation
of the LareS and Penates to new localities,
and the forming of new acquaintance and
social duties. Ii is season of hustle and
confusion, ushered in by days of prelim-
mary tearing of things loose and knocking
of things about and followed by days of
agonizing effort to make great quantity
of carpet fit a different shape of fioor and
a certain cupboard stand in room where
of the ceiling is three-quarters of an inch
too low. 1t is day of hard work, made
pleasanter by big dinners and lots of fun.
1t is a day when some folks are glad and
some are sorry; when some change for the
better and some for the worse-in short it
is ''moving day. handed down to us from
our English progenitors with whom it was
known as LADY Day." one of the quar-
ter-days for payment of rent With us it
is a day when most money obligations are
made to fall due, when interest is payable
and plans for the year so into effect. 1t is
usually rough time of year on which to
change ones home, but in farming COM
nun ity when the farmer wants to get SET
tied away in time for his spring work, it
seems the only convenient season. To all
who are changing this year among its
readers, the MONITOR wishes lots of hap
pness and prosperity in their new loca-
tons, and hopes that none will go so far
but that it can follow them weekly,
with news of the old home and people.
